  1. I would assume there is some natural almond oil in there. Almond oil is one of those ingredients that is less expensive to produce naturally than artificially.

     

    I only added a dash, it's not a primary ingredient, the overall percentage in the mix is minute.

     

    That's good to know... but all the same, almonds and hazelnuts are supposed to be the nuts I am MOST allergic too (apparently there are different degrees... for example, peanuts I am only slightly allergic to - they may just make me feel a bit sick. Almonds and hazelnuts will just about send me to the hospital). So I might not take the chance on this one. There are plenty of other nommy smelling cakey lovelies for me to enjoy :)

  2. I just love the little silver flakes floating around in this! I've been sitting here playing with them in the vial. I know, small things right, lol. But seriously, something about the metallic twang of this in the bottle is just tickling my palate nicely right now. On my skin it softens into something I can't quite describe - not floral, not perfumey, but heading in the direction. Very subtle. Enhanced skin. I hope I'm making sense.

  3. Hmm.... I feel bad posting a review about a scent and saying nothing good at all about it, but I just don't like this... not in the bottle, not on my skin, not after drydown. It starts out smelling sharp, like citrusy in a bad way. Then something that comes out as menthol on me emerges, and it just gets stronger. At drydown it's just faint menthol again. I searched for the other notes and I just can't find them. I don't think it's a time of month thing as other perfumes are smelling fine on me. Well it is always interesting to learn what DOES work for you, as well as what DOESN'T!

  4. This was NOT what I was expecting from this one at all! I thought it would be tropical fruits and "outdoors" smelling. But it is all musk and honey, a very indoors, sultry smell. Sadly one of the notes is amping madly on me, maybe it is the musk? And giving the whole thing a bit of a nauseating quality.

  5. This is total nomminess, but I'm really saddened to learn it has almond milk in it. I couldn't even pick it on smelling, just cake and biscuity goodness, but I'll have to trade it away anyway :(

  6. I just don't understand this one at all! I wouldn't have picked lavender if not for the name. It reminded me in the bottle and at first on my skin of licorice. Then on my skin it becomes a sweet floral, maybe similar to violets. I don't smell lavender at all. Given this is old, perhaps it has just aged in this way? I normally don't like lavender but I am digging this one!

  7. This is very melon, but unlike a melon like Shelly B's Bodacious Bomb it is extremely sweet. Almost cloyingly so - almost, but not quite. It is sweet and delicious and fruity, and the melon just comes out the right amount.

  8. Recently I've found myself reaching for sprays more than oils because it's so cold here that I really have nothing but my face and fingertips exposed, so the oil just doesn't get through all the layers of clothing. Plus I've found that I get less skin reactions/rashes if I spray something in the air and let it fall over me and my clothes evenly than I do rubbing oil in. I'm slowly converting a lot of my oils into sprays, and starting to order more things as sprays as long as they are not cops heavy.

  9. This is such a shame. I get no honey or chocolate or vanilla or marshmallow. Just smoke and a slightly bitter smell :( And then after about twenty minutes it is all gone but something that vaguely reminds me of coffee...
